EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment of triumph for King Edward VII at the Epsom Derby in 1902. The monarch, dressed in full regalia and wearing a top hat, is seen here being congratulated by his son, the Prince of Wales (later King George V), Lord Beresford, and the winning trainer, Richard Marsh. The jockey, Herbert Jones, stands proudly beside his royal employers, having steered their horse, Minoru, to victory. The competitive spirit of horse racing is palpable in this image, with the excited crowd in the background and the triumphant expressions on the faces of the winners. The Edwardian era, during which this photograph was taken, was a time of great change and progress in British history. The country was undergoing industrialization and the beginnings of the modern era, and horse racing remained a popular pastime for the aristocracy and the masses alike. The Derby was one of the most prestigious races in the country, and winning it was a great honor. King Edward VII, who reigned from 1901 to 1910, was an avid horse racing fan and attended many races throughout his reign. This victory at the Derby was a highlight of his time on the throne and a source of great pride for him and his family. The image of the king and his son, both wearing top hats and smiling broadly, is a testament to their joy and satisfaction at the win. The trainer, Richard Marsh, and jockey, Herbert Jones, also share in the celebration, their faces reflecting their own sense of accomplishment and pride in their role in the victory. The image is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of horse racing and royalty during the Edwardian era.
